Investment In Cebu
Anyone planning to invest their savings into a business opportunity in the Philippines should be extremely cautious. There are many opportunities but there are also many scams and risks for the novice. I would advise you to leave a substantial amount of your capital back home in secure investments and live off the interest from these if possible. If investing in the Philippines, start off small and keep your investments well dispersed.
For those looking to play the Stock Exchange, the actual trading floor is in Manila but of course nowadays you can be online anywhere in the world and trade, including Cebu. The Philippines Stock Exchange has a great web site and you can play an investing game and see how well you might do with imaginary money. This will give you great insights into the stocks being traded and the local companies to watch or to avoid.
More direct investment in Cebu based enterprises really should be something you approach with great caution and only after having lived here for a year or so. That will let you get oriented and settled in. It is during the first few months that most people lose the most of their money as they leap at opportunities that are not very solid and would have been identified clearly as such had they been here longer.
